Abstract
In this chapter, you will find the most relevant information about what a drone is, including historical and social context. This chapter will cover international standards, some etymologies, and certain safety considerations that you should keep in mind while working with these aircraft. We’ll go through a description of generic components and their selection and connection. As a result, you will learn the technical details, international standards, and necessary requirements for the design of drones and other vehicles. Remember that this book is a crash course, so this chapter just provides a fast way for you to assimilate the contents. If you want to extend this knowledge, go to the guided reference appendix.
